ALMS Choir Coordinator: Questions for choir members

26 Jan 2010

Greetings to everyone!

I would like to check on what we have initially in the ALMS choir, in light of determining how to proceed with rehearsals and preparations for the future Missa Cantatas that we will sing for. I will appreciate the effort and time you will dedicate to provide the information requested below.

I intend to ask more personal questions (such as goals, objectives, and suggestions) during our first meeting.

Thank you!

Ad majorem Dei gloriam!

Niccolo Vitug
